From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh great, another boutique "simple and lightweight Linux distribution". This one will solve all the problems the others don't. Perhaps it's simpler? Or lightweightier?
Oh and it comes with its own glossary of silly names for things so you can feel ridiculous when talking about it too others. Neat.
Almost. It doesn't try to solve all the problems, though. I'd say it's a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.
TempleOS a passion project? Feels like a little bit of an understatement...
What’s the goal? By the blurb I’d guess it’s a minimal server distro.
From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous "linux from scratch" and started to shape his own distro.
It's a personal project. Useless to others.
Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as
just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu
It's not useless as you can learn from it.
The reason Linux is such a big deal is that it was the one of dozens that didn't fail. This is ignorable.
"People laughed at Einstein, they also laughed at bozo the clown."
By your logic, you cannot dismiss the project for being a personal one. Only if it fails, is it dismissable.
I can do whatever I want. And odds are very good this is a fly-by-night personal project that goes nowhere.
Didn't say you can't whatever you want. I said "by your logic". That was assuming you don't contradict your own logic, but of course you can otherwise :)
I'm not even contradicting myself.
Okay - so here's the thing. You want to play stupid word games you can play stupid word games. There's a 99% chance I never hear of this stupid project again. It has nothing interesting going for it and is supported by exactly one developer.
Sure - lightning may strike twice and this becomes the next "big thing". But the chance is so remote as to be zero. So yes - it's a personal project that you can ignore.
Cool but… what’s it intended to do? Is it Intended as a daily driver? Something like Damn Small Linux? Or what?
Given they mention arch and gentoo, I suppose they intend it as a daily driver / desktop.
There is not much info about the package management.
